1. Defogging

Skylights can not only let people in the car enjoy more sunshine and fresh air, but also help the car defog. Drivers know that if the temperature difference between inside and outside of the car is too large, the front windshield is easy to form fog. Many car owners will choose to wipe with paper towels, but this is a very dangerous behavior in the driving process. In fact, you can open the skylight for a few minutes to quickly eliminate the fog in front of you.

2. Noise removal

When a car is driving on an expressway, opening the side window will produce a lot of noise, which will affect the speech in the car and the speed of the car. By opening the skylight instead of the side window, the noise can be greatly reduced and the speed of the car will not be affected.

Skylight Maintenance Knowledge

1. Cleaning track skylight tracks and crevices

The skylight will deposit a lot of sand grains in the slides and crevices after using for a period of time. If it is not cleaned regularly, it will damage the skylight components. Generally, after 2 to 3 months of use, the sealant strip or slide track should be cleaned with gauze with clean water, and a little oil or butter can be touched after drying. Usually or for a long time before parking, talc powder can also be used to clean regularly, which can prolong the service life of the sealing ring.

2. Dry the edge of skylight in cold weather

In winter, after snow or car washing, skylight glass and sealant frame may be frozen. If the skylight is opened by brute force, it is easy to cause damage to skylight motor and rubber sealant. The correct way is to open the skylight after snow or wash the car and dry the remaining water on the edge. And in the process of car washing, avoid using high-pressure water gun to directly align the water column with the sealing ring. It is not only easy for the sealing ring to deform under the pressure of high-pressure water column, but also for the car to enter water, which will damage the sealing ring to a certain extent.

3. Don't open the skylight completely in bumpy sections

For electric skylights, it is better not to open the skylights completely on bumpy roads, otherwise the vibration between skylights and slides will cause deformation of related components, and even damage the motor.
